What did you do to your Car today?

Re: What did you do to your Grand Prix today?

I ordered a set of pace setters, 2.5" catback, modded 1.9's, new comp push rods, valve seals, 90lbs spring and comp hydraulic lifters for my 98gtp.
 
^ No valve springs? Strange.


I tidied up the spark plug wires and my IC hoses, burped the cooling system and drove it about 10 feet.

Also put my new Puig windscreen on the 636. Can't wait to take it for a spin and see how much better the airflow is against my chest/helmet
 


i took apart one of my retros fixed the beam and put the shroud back on. Then resealed it oh the joys of revisiting doing retros

Probably should of grabbed LS7 lifters instead OERs are loud.
 
Anyone know why my blower motor would be going on and off lately? I get in my car, turn it on and nothing. Switch it to off and back to 3, still nothing. Wait a second and hear a click on the drivers side of the dash and it comes on. Sometimes it will be on and I'll hear the click twice, and it will go off/on. Almost like a relay going off and on. My headlights do the same thing once in a while. When in auto on they turn off and back on and the same click is heard.
 


almost done with my pgetting this nitrous kit operational, all plumbing, routing and brackets are fabbed finally, now just working towards my electrical side i cannot wait.

Loose connector/wire? Maybe a relay or something is overheating if that's possible or going bad.

My car has done the same thing twice since I've had it (2001 GTP, owned since 2007). The blower and headlights only work depending on what setting the heater switch was on. Replacing the ignition switch fixed it both times (about five years apart.)

Hmm hope it's not that, it only happens occasionally. I'll see if moving the ignition a bit changes it. It always comes back on on it's own.
 
You know, sometimes its the things that I didn't do to my car that bring me the most happiness. Like if I had been working from home today with my GP parked on it's normal place on the right side of the driveway. Came home to find this greeting me...




This thing was about 5" around at the broken end and longer than the car. Where the large end is sitting is exactly where my trunk would have been and most likely would have landed dead center of the length of the car, lol.... Damn 56mph wind sucks, lol... Especially when there are no buildings or houses around to break up the wind like in the 'burbs.
 
^ Damn, that's lucky man.


I drove mine today. Feels good to finally be able to go WOT without worrying about knocking. Also the blower whine with the 3.0 pulley and filled silencer ports at 6300rpm is tits.
